Pre-populate SCBA gear in on-truck checks
Packs, cylinders, and other SCBA can be auto-populated based on what was last logged in the location.
When performing an SCBA on-truck check, each position is pre-filled with the gear that was logged there previously. This is designed so that crew members don't have to select their gear each check; they only select a new piece of equipment if the pre-filled item isn't there anymore (e.g. a cylinder that moved after a call, a pack that got taken out-of-service, etc.).
While this setting makes it quicker for users to log their SCBA checks, some agencies prefer to shut off the pre-filled selection and require crew members to select their equipment each time they check it off, ensuring that they actually look at the equipment prior to logging it.
